470 NLSD: U.S. Trustee Unable to Appoint Committee--------------------------------------------------The Office of the U.S. Trustee disclosed in a court filing that noofficial committee of unsecured creditors has been appointed in theChapter 11 case of 470 NLSD BKB, LLC.

AGT FOOD: DBRS Raises Issuer Rating to B(high)----------------------------------------------DBRS Limited upgraded the Issuer Rating of AGT Food and IngredientsInc. (AGT or the Company) to B (high) and the Senior SecuredHigh-Yield Notes to BB (low). The trends have been changed toStable from Positive. The upgrade of the Senior Secured High-YieldNotes reflects the upgrade of the Issuer Rating as well as a changein the Recovery Rating to RR3 from RR4. AGT's new B (high) IssuerRating is supported by the growth in its less-cyclical andhigher-margin Food Ingredients and Packaged Foods segment, as wellas its solid position in staple foods, diversification in terms ofgeography, suppliers and customers and favourable industry trendsand demographics. The rating also reflects the volatility of inputcosts and AGT's sensitivity to weather, as well as the low-marginand capital-intensive nature of the legacy Pulse Processingbusiness, competition with other commodity-type products and risksassociated with the Company's growth.

On February 24, 2015, DBRS changed the trend on AGT's ratings toPositive. The trend change reflected the Company's improvingearnings profile since the inception of the rating in 2013,including solid growth in the higher-margin, less-cyclical FoodIngredients and Packaged Foods segment. In addition, the financialprofile benefited from a common share issuance to help invest ingrowth. At the time, DBRS stated that should AGT continue todisplay solid growth in its Food Ingredients and Packaged Foodssegment and maintain its credit metrics (i.e., debt-to-EBITDA below6.0 times (x), long-term debt-to-EBITDA below 3.75x and EBITDAcoverage above 2.5x), an upgrade of its Issuer Rating to B (high)would likely result.

Since that time, AGT continued to deliver solid growth in its FoodIngredients and Packaged Foods segment as well as strong margins inits legacy Pulse Processing segment through Q3 F2015. The Companyalso completed strategic acquisitions of rail logistic and bulkhandling assets to increase shipping capacity. Revenues increased19.4% in the nine months ended Q3 F2015 to approximately $1.52billion for the last 12-months (LTM) ended Q3 F2015 versus $1.4billion in F2014 and $1.1 billion in F2013. Revenue increasedprimarily as a result of changes in mix and increasing commodityprices and growth in the Food Ingredients and Packaged Foodssegment more than offsetting a decline in metric tonnes invoiced inAGT's legacy businesses. EBITDA margins declined modestly versusthe previous year, primarily because of pressure on gross marginsfrom supply constraints as the Company approached the new harvest.Gross margin per metric tonne, however, has continued to improvenotably, driven by strong performance in the Food Ingredients andPackaged Foods segment as well as the legacy Pulse Processingsegment. As such, EBITDA continued to increase, rising toapproximately $86 million for the LTM ended Q3 F2015, versus $80million in F2014 and $56 million in F2013.

AGT's financial profile improved through the first nine months ofF2015 because of the rising earnings and cash flow, more thanoffsetting a further increase in balance sheet debt. Cash flow fromoperations continued to track operating income, while capitalexpenditure (capex) increased as the Company invested in theexpansion of its Minot, North Dakota, Food Ingredients facility.Cash outlay for dividends remained relatively flat as the Companymaintained its dividend on a per-share basis. As such, the Companygenerated a modest amount of positive free cash flow before changesin working capital. The Company used drawings from its revolvingcredit facility to fund cash requirements for changes in workingcapital as well as its acquisition (by its subsidiary AlliancePulse Processors Inc.) of the assets West Central Road and RailLtd. Despite the increase in long-term debt to $276 million at theend of Q3 F2015 from nearly $240 million at the end of Q3 F2014,credit metrics continued to improve (debt-to-EBITDA of 4.44x,long-term debt-to-EBITDA of 3.20x and EBITDA coverage of 2.84x forthe LTM ended Q3 F2015 versus 4.96x, 3.22x and 2.55x, respectively,for the LTM ended Q3 F2014). DBRS notes that on October 30, 2015,AGT completed the acquisition Mobil Capital Holdings Ltd. & Subs.for total consideration of $57.5 million consisting of $19 millionof cash, the issuance of $19 million of common shares and a $19.5million five-year promissory note.

Going forward, DBRS believes that AGT's Issuer Rating is now wellplaced in the B (high) rating category on a through-the-cyclebasis. DBRS expects AGT's Food Ingredients and Packaged Foodssegment will continue to grow as a proportion of the Company,benefiting from its sales and distribution agreements withIngredion Incorporated, with a focus on North America, Europe andChina. Sales and margins will benefit from added capacity and theintroduction of new products (i.e., deflavouring) as product mixshifts to human and pet food from feed. AGT's legacy PulseProcessing business is expected to continue to benefit from strongCanadian pulse exports and higher pulse prices driven by lowerlocal production in key regions. Margins and earnings should alsobenefit from the recent acquisitions, which will allow AGT toeffectively control its logistics with an integrated supply chainfor efficient transportation of pulses and durum wheat, increasingshipping capacity and allowing AGT facilities to focus onhigher-margin activities. As such, DBRS believes that AGT's EBITDAshould continue to rise above the $100 million level in the nearterm and toward the $130 million level over the medium term.

DBRS expects AGT's financial profile to remain at least stable inthe near term based on improved cash flow-generating capacity andrelatively stable financial leverage. Cash flow from operationsshould continue to track operating income while maintenance capexshould remain moderate and the Company continues to focus on growthafter the investment in expanding the Minot facility. DBRS expectsthe Company's dividend will remain relatively stable on a per-sharebasis. As such, AGT's cash flow-generating capacity should improve.Any free cash flow as well as possible incremental debt is expectedto be used to invest in growth as AGT scales its Food Ingredientsbusiness. Over the longer term, DBRS believes free cash flow couldbe used to support increasing returns to shareholders. As such,DBRS expects credit metrics should improve over the medium termwith earnings growth and debt amortization payments. Should AGTcontinue improve its business mix by growing its higher margin andmore stable business segment, in addition to improving its freecash flow and credit metrics (i.e., debt-to-EBITDA below 4.0x,long-term debt-to-EBITDA below 3.0x and EBITDA coverage toward3.25x), a further positive rating action could result.

DBRS has upgraded the recovery rating on AGT's Senior SecuredHigh-Yield Notes to RR3 from RR4. The improvement in the recoveryrating reflects DBRS's view that holders of AGT's $125 millionSenior Secured High-Yield Notes would receive improved recovery inthe 60% to 80% range. DBRS believes that recovery on the SeniorSecured High-Yield Notes would continue to be primarily based onthe assets in Turkey of the Arbel Group, reflecting increases innormal inventory levels at that entity.

On Jan. 12, 2010, Carol Hill allegedly sustained injuries at aretail store owned by the Debtors as a result of the Debtors'negligence. On Jan. 9, 2012, Hill brought suit against the Debtorsin the District Court of Crawford County, Texas. On Oct. 12, 2014,the Debtors sought bankruptcy protection. On Jan. 5, 2015, Hillfiled Claim No. 1284, asserting an unsecured claim for an amount inexcess of $75,000.

On June 4, 2015, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirmingthe Debtor's Plan of Liquidation and appointing Mr. Saccullo asliquidating trustee. The Plan became effective July 22, 2015. Paragraph P of the Confirmation Order permanently enjoins Hill fromcontinuing her litigation against the Debtors, their estates andthe Liquidating Trustee.

After negotiations, the parties on March 1, 2016, signed astipulation providing that (i) the Confirmation Injunction shouldbe modified to the extent necessary to permit Hill to proceed withthe litigation, and (ii) Hill will seek recovery only from theproceeds of the Debtors' insurance policy. Claim 1284 is deemeddisallowed and expunged.

The Court won't hold a hearing on the Stipulation unless a writtenresponse is filed within 14 days of service of the Stipulation.

Then with 198 stores in 23 states throughout the central UnitedStates, ALCO Stores, Inc., and ALCO Holdings LLC sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Lead Case No. 14-34941) inDallas, Texas, on Oct. 12, 2014, intending to let liquidatorsconduct store closing sales or sell the business to a going-concernbuyer.

Judge Stacey G. Jernigan presides over the Chapter 11 cases.

As of July 2014, ALCO Stores had assets totaling $222 million andliabilities totaling $162 million. The bulk of the liabilities wastotal debt outstanding under a credit facility with Wells FargoBank, National Association, of which the aggregate outstanding was$104.2 million as of the Petition Date.

The Debtors received court approval to sell some of its real estatealong with store leases.

On April 7, 2015, the Debtors filed their First Amended Plan ofLiquidation which provides that holders of secured claims willrecover 100%, holders of general unsecured claims will recover 1%to 15%, and holders of equity interests won't receive anything.Judge Jernigan on April 14 entered an order approving thedisclosure statement explaining the Debtors' First Amended Plan ofLiquidation. The Court confirmed the Plan on June 3, 2015.

Prior to the Petition Date, the Debtor entered into various loanagreements with BPPR's predecessor Westernbank, pursuant to whichthe Debtor was provided certain credit facilities.

The Loans are secured by, among other things, certain real propertylocated at Palmas Ward, Catano, Puerto Rico, and at CandelariaWard, Toa Baja, Puerto Rico -- Real Estate Collateral -- as well asa lien over certain assets. As of the Petition Date, the amountsdue under the Loans, prior to certain reconciliations made duringthe reorganization period, amounted to $11,285,200.

The Debtor filed a Disclosure Statement and Chapter 11 Plan ofReorganization on May 28, 2015, later amended on January 11, 2016.

In order to quickly and expeditiously resolve the outstandingissues among them, the Debtor and BPPR have reached an agreementproviding that BPPR will have a fixed allowed reconciled securedclaim of $10,228,162.

The Secured Claim will be paid with equal monthly payments of$67,007, including principal and interests, at 5.25% per annum. TheSecured Claim will be paid by the Debtor in monthly payments of$67,007 with a final balloon payment for the outstanding amountthen due for the Claim on or before Feb. 1, 2021.

The Debtor's failure to make any of the payments in accordance withthe terms of the stipulation constitutes as an Event of Default. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, all of the Loans,Collateral, BPPR Claim and the Debtor's obligations with BPPR shallrevert to their original, prepetition state, and the indebtednessshall become immediately due and payable without further notice byBPPR.

ALPHA NATURAL: Files Plan; Sets March 10 Hearing on Sale Procedures-------------------------------------------------------------------Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. on March 8 disclosed that it hasfiled a proposed Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization and a relatedDisclosure Statement with the United States Bankruptcy Court forthe Eastern District of Virginia. Together with the recently-filedmotion seeking approval of a marketing process for Alpha's coreoperating assets, these filings provide for the sale of Alpha'sassets, detail a path toward the resolution of all creditor claims,and anticipate the emergence of a streamlined and sustainablereorganized company able to satisfy its environmental obligationson an ongoing basis. By selling certain assets as a going concernand restructuring the company's remaining assets into a reorganizedAlpha, the company is able to provide maximum recovery to itscreditors, while preserving jobs and putting itself in the bestposition to meet its reclamation obligations. This path will allowfor a conclusion of Alpha's bankruptcy proceedings by June 30,2016.

On February 8, 2016, Alpha filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Courtrequesting approval of procedures to govern a marketing and saleprocess for Alpha's core assets. These procedures are designed toimplement a fair and competitive process that will allow allinterested parties to bid for Alpha's assets and enable the companyto realize the greatest possible value for the benefit of itsstakeholders. The process includes a "stalking horse" credit bidof existing secured debt submitted by the company's first lienlenders. As a stalking horse bid, it is subject to higher orbetter offers, but provides Alpha with a backstop bid for its coreassets in the amount of $500 million (plus the lenders' assumptionof certain liabilities). Unless a higher offer is received priorto the bid deadline, Alpha plans to sell its core businesses andrelated assets to the company's first lien lenders pursuant to theterms of the stalking horse bid. This and all asset sales aresubject to Bankruptcy Court approval.

-- all of the company's coal operations and reserves located inPennsylvania, including the debtors' Cumberland and Emerald minecomplexes, their Freeport, Sewickley, and Foundation coal reserves,and all related assets;

-- the company's interest in a natural gas business in theMarcellus Shale owned by Alpha entity Pennsylvania Land ResourcesHolding Company, LLC;

Through the Plan of Reorganization, all remaining unsold assetswill become part of reorganized Alpha, a smaller, sustainablecompany, structured to focus primarily on fulfilling all of thecompany's environmental reclamation obligations on an ongoingbasis. To ensure that the company is able to fulfill theseobligations, the Plan provides that reorganized Alpha will besufficiently funded to meet all of its operating and reclamationactivities, including through contributions from Alpha's first lienlenders. It is expected that certain of Alpha's remaining mineswill continue operating, adjusting to market conditions andallowing for a phased approach to this work. Alpha is workingtoward resolutions with governmental entities regarding the scopeand necessary funding of the company's reclamation obligations.

"Since we began the bankruptcy process last August, we have takennumerous steps to enhance efficiency throughout our business andmake tough but necessary decisions regarding the future of ouroperations," said Alpha's Chairman and CEO Kevin Crutchfield. "Byleveraging core assets for sustainable productivity, whileaddressing the stewardship obligations of our remaining properties,these filings represent an important step in our effort toeffectively restructure the company and emerge from Chapter 11better positioned to meet new market realities. While marketscontinue to be challenged in the near term, we firmly believe thatcoal's role as a vital fuel source for electricity generation andsteel production is secure for the foreseeable future, both hereand around the world. We appreciate the support of our lenders tohelp advance our restructuring process."

A hearing to consider approval of the proposed bidding and saleprocedures is scheduled before the Bankruptcy Court on March 10,2016. Following subsequent approval of the Disclosure Statement,certain related procedures for voting on the Plan, and otherpending matters, the company will seek creditor acceptance of thePlan, which is also subject to Bankruptcy Court approval.

ALPHA NATURAL: Files Reorganization Plan Centered on Asset Sale---------------------------------------------------------------Alpha Natural Resources, Inc., et al., filed with the U.S.Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, RichmondDivision, a plan of reorganization and accompanying disclosure thatis centered on the sale of substantially all of the Debtors'assets.

The Plan provides that: (a) value will be distributed pursuant tothe provisions of the Bankruptcy Code andapplicable settlements; and (b) the Debtors will be reorganized byemploying those assets that are not sold, which assets will beoperated for the principal purpose of conducting and completingenvironmental reclamation. To this end, the First Lien Lendershave agreed to provide cash and/or credit support to facilitate theconfirmation of the Plan for the remaining assets, including cashand/or credit support for the cost of reclaiming these assets (inaddition to providing for the reclamation of the purchased assetsin the event the First Lien Lenders are the successful bidder withrespect to such assets). As further support for the Plan, theFirst Lien Lenders have agreed to provide value to junior creditorconstituencies through the Plan.

The Debtors' prepetition First Lien Lenders agreed to serve as astalking horse bidder by credit bidding $500 million of the secureddebt due them for certain of the Debtors' assets. As a "stalkinghorse bid," the bid by the First Lien Lenders is subject to higheror otherwise better offers that the Debtors may receive for theassets pursuant to a marketing and sale process approved by theBankruptcy Court. The First Lien Lenders' participation in thesale process as stalking horse bidders ensures that the Debtorsrecover maximum value for their assets in this challengingenvironment by subjecting the assets to a competitive marketingprocess, thereby providing considerable benefit to the Debtors'estates. Notably, the Stalking Horse Bid does not include anycustomary bid protections generally paid to a stalking horsebidder, and therefore merely sets a floor to begin a biddingprocess on a level playing field without any cost to the Debtors'estates.

In connection with the stalking horse process and followingextensive analysis and negotiations, the Debtors have negotiatedthe principal terms of a comprehensive settlement of issues withthe First Lien Lenders andthe DIP Lenders. This settlement includes agreements with respectto (a) which of the Debtors' assets will be deemed not to have beenencumbered by the Prepetition Senior Liens as of the Petition Dateand (b) the methodology that will be used to establish the amountof the First Lien Lenders' secured claim granted them as adequateprotection for diminution in value of their collateral since thePetition Date.

According to Richard J. Bernard, Esq., at Foley & Lardner LLP,counsel for the Debtor, joint administration of the proceduralmatters respecting these cases will:

(a) expedite and make administration more efficient for both cases;

(b) dispense with the need for duplicative hearings, motions, applications, notices, and orders, which will save significant time and expense for the Debtor;

(c) allow the Clerk of the Court to use a single general docket for both cases and to combine notices in order to ensure timely and proper notice to creditors of each Debtor's estate and other parties-in-interest; and

(e) simplify the supervision of the administrative aspects of these Chapter 11 cases by the Office of the United States Trustee for the Southern District of New York.

On July 2, 2015, Allegria filed a voluntary petition under Chapter11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for theSouthern District of New York, Case No. 15-11760.

About Alrose King

Alrose King David LLC, owner of a 140-room Allegria Hotel locatedat 80 W. Broadway, Long Beach, New York, filed a Chapter 11bankruptcy petition (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 16-10536) on March 4, 2016. The petition was signed by Allen Rosenberg asmanaging member. The Debtor estimated both assets and liabilitiesin the range of $10 million to $50 million. Foley & Lardner LLPrepresents the Debtor as counsel.

This is Alrose King's second bankruptcy filing. In July 2011,following an action by secured creditor Brooklyn Federal SavingsBank and other vendors, the Debtor sought protection under Chapter11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the Eastern District of New York, CaseNo. 11-75361.

By order dated June 18, 2012, the Debtor's Plan of Reorganizationwas confirmed, and on the same date, Joseph S. Maniscalco, Esq.,was appointed as the administrator of the AKD Plan. The effectivedate of the AKD Plan was June 18, 2012. The EDNY Court issued afinal decree and order closing the First Chapter 11 case on March 18, 2014.

The AKD Plan provides for the establishment of a GUC DistributionFund and sets forth a schedule for the funding of the GUCDistribution Fund. Under the AKD Plan, a total of $2 million wasto be paid into the GUC Distribution Fund by the Debtor, theReorganized Debtor, Allegria and Mr. Rosenberg. Pursuant to aStipulation and Order dated Feb. 24, 2014, the payment schedule setforth in the AKD Plan was modified to extend certain of the duedates and deadlines. Additional extensions were granted by thePlan Administrator at Mr. Rosenberg's request.

On Oct. 20, 2015, written notice was provided by the PlanAdministrator to the Debtor and Allegria of the default under theAKD Plan. The Debtor said it failed to cure its default under theAKD Plan to date.

On Feb. 10, 2016, the Plan Administrator filed his motion to reopenand convert to Chapter 7 the First Chapter 11 Case.According to the Motion to Reopen, the Plan Administratorrepresented that the sum of $1,809,162 was paid in the GUCDistribution Fund, leaving a balance owed in the amount of $190,838plus attorney's fees and costs. The Motion to Reopen is currentlyscheduled to be heard March 23.

S&P also raised the issue-level rating on the company's $450million senior unsecured notes to 'CCC+' from 'CC'. The recoveryrating on the senior unsecured notes remains '3', reflecting S&P'sexpectation of meaningful (50%-70%; lower half of range) recoveryin the event of a conventional default.

The upgrade follows Alta Mesa's announcement that it had terminatedits offer to exchange existing senior unsecured debt for third-lienterm loans significantly below par value. In February 2016, S&Plowered the ratings to 'CC' after the company launched an exchangeoffer to existing holders of its $450 million senior unsecurednotes for a new issue of third-lien term loans due 2021. If thetransaction had closed, S&P would have treated it as a selectivedefault, since the investors would have received 60% of par(assuming early participation premium). S&P is now returning theratings to the levels prior to that announcement. "The negativeoutlook reflects our view that weighted-average credit measureswill weaken in 2016-2017, approaching levels we would view asunsustainable," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst DanielKrauss.

S&P could lower the ratings within the next 12 months if liquiditydeteriorates significantly to levels it would consider weak. S&Pcould also consider a downgrade if Alta Mesa announced a subsequentdebt exchange offer, given the current market value of itsunsecured notes, which S&P could view as distressed exchanges.

S&P could revise the outlook to stable if market conditionsimprove, such that the company could maintain liquidity at a levelS&P considers to be adequate. S&P could also consider an outlookrevision if the company is able to generate stronger-than-expectedearnings and free cash flow, leading to a significant improvementin credit measures.

Fitch's action follows the company's announcement that it willacquire Carmike Cinemas, Inc. for a total consideration of $1.1billion consisting of $757 million in cash and the assumption ofCarmike's net indebtedness of approximately $350 million. Theacquisition is consistent with Fitch's expectations that AMC willcontinue to focus on deploying capital towards acquisition oftheatre assets that are complementary to AMC's portfolio andoverall enhancing of the guest experience. Fitch believes Carmike'sportfolio provides significant geographical diversificationbenefits given minimal geographical overlap, which will enhanceAMC's presence in small-to-mid-size markets, specifically in thesouth and southeast regions. In addition, Carmike's screens willbenefit from AMC's reseating strategy, which Fitch believes willlead to higher concession revenue and gross profit per attendee.

The acquisition will be financed with cash and incremental debt of$625 million and is expected to close during the fourth quarter of2016 (4Q16). The transaction price represents an 8.2x multiple ofCarmike's fiscal year 2015 (FY15) EBITDA of approximately $135million. Fitch expects pro forma leverage of approximately 4.8x andpro forma adjusted gross leverage of 6.3x followed by a period ofdelevering to the company's target net leverage of 3.5x by year-end2017. While pro forma leverage is outside of Fitch's expectationsfor the rating, we expect AMC to utilize free cash flow (FCF) topay down debt and return to a credit profile more reflective of a'B+' rating by year-end 2017.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

AMC has demonstrated traction in key strategic initiatives, as canbe seen in its improving admission revenue per attendee, concessionrevenue per attendee, and concession gross profit per attendee.Fitch calculates Dec. 31, 2015 latest 12 months (LTM) EBITDAmargins of 16.8% (excludes National Cinemedia distribution), animprovement from 13.6% at Sept. 27, 2012. Fitch recognizes thatAMC's continued expansion into premium food offerings will pressurehigh concession margins; however, growth in the top line shouldgrow absolute gross profit dollars in this segment.

AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. (AMCH) instituted a quarterlydividend of $19.6 million, with the first dividend paid in 2Q14.For the LTM period ended Dec. 31, 2015, AMCH paid $78.5 million individends. In conjunction with elevated capital expendituresrelative to historical periods, the dividend will pressure FCF.Fitch has modeled capital expenditure spending of approximately$255 million and $275 million in 2016 and 2017, respectively. As aresult, Fitch expects FCF will range from zero to positive $50million over the next two years. LTM FCF at Dec. 31, 2015 was $56million.

Fitch believes that AMC has sufficient liquidity to fund capitalinitiatives, make small theater-circuit acquisitions, and cover itsterm loan amortization. Liquidity is supported by cash balances of$211 million and availability of $75 million on its securedrevolver as of Dec. 31, 2015.

According to Box Office Mojo, 2015's box office delivered positivegrowth of 7.4% and record-setting box office revenues of $11.1billion. Industry fundamentals benefited from a strong slate whichrecorded attendance growth of 4.1% and a 3.2% increase in averageticket price. As 2015 was a record year, it will pose a toughcomparison year in 2016. Similar to past years, the 2016 film slatefeatures many high-profile sequels and anticipated new tent poles.The releases of 'Deadpool', 'Batman v Superman,' 'Finding Dory,'and 'Independence Day: Resurgence' headline a strong film slate.Fitch believes the film slate will support industry-wide box officerevenue levels with low- to mid-single-digit increase in attendanceand a slightly increased average ticket price.

Fitch believes the investments made by AMC and its peers to improvethe patron's experience are prudent. While capital expenditure maybe elevated in the near term and concession high margins may bepressured over the long term, Fitch believes that exhibitors willbenefit from delivering an improved value proposition to theirpatrons and that the premium food services/offerings will growabsolute levels of revenue and EBITDA.

In addition, AMC and its peers also rely on the quality, quantity,and timing of movie product, all factors out of management'scontrol.

KEY ASSUMPTIONS

Fitch's key assumptions within the rating case for AMCEntertainment include:

Positive Trigger: Fitch weighs the prospective challenges facingAMC and its industry peers in arriving at the long-term creditratings heavily. Significant improvements in the operatingenvironment (sustainable increases in attendance from continuedsuccess of operating initiatives) driving FCF/adjusted debt above2% and adjusted leverage below 4.5x on a sustainable basis couldhave a positive effect on the rating. In strong box office years,metrics may be strong in order to provide a cushion for weaker boxoffice years.

Negative Trigger: Negative rating actions are more likely tocoincide with the company's inability to reduce adjusted leveragebelow 6.0x (4.5x on an unadjusted basis) by the end of 2017following the acquisition of Carmike Cinemas, and/or rent-adjustedinterest coverage declines below 1.5-1.75x. In addition,meaningful, operational deterioration that may include sustaineddeclines in attendance and/or per-guest concession spending orother change in capital allocation that delays the company'splanned leverage reduction may also pressure the ratings.

LIQUIDITY

AMC's liquidity is supported by $211 million of cash on hand (as ofDecember 2015) and $75 million availability on its revolving creditfacility, which is sufficient to cover minimal amortizationpayments on its term loan.

Fitch has affirmed the following ratings for AMC: -- Long-term IDR at 'B+'; -- Senior secured credit facilities at 'BB+/RR1'.

The Rating Outlook is Stable.

ARCH COAL: Fitch Cuts Issuer Default Ratings to 'D'---------------------------------------------------Fitch Ratings has published updated recovery analysis for ArchCoal, Inc., in line with the Jan. 11, 2016 downgrade of thecompany's IDR to 'D' from 'C'.

The monthly operating report for Jan. 31, 2016 shows cash andshort-term investments of $612 million and that the term loaninterest is being paid. A $275 million delayed drawDebtor-in-Possession term loan (DIP Financing) has been approvedand the $200 million accounts receivable facility continues to beprovided to Arch Receivable Company LLC, a subsidiary that is notparty to the bankruptcy filing.

The Restructuring Support Agreement dated as of Jan. 10, 2016 asamended Feb. 25, 2016 (RSA) with certain holders of the first-lienterm loans remains in effect but has not been approved by thecourt. Pursuant to the amendment, Arch is required to obtain courtapproval of the assumption of the agreement on or before April 10,2016, unless otherwise agreed by the required lenders.

Principal terms of the RSA are: extinguishment of the existingcommon stock; claims arising from the DIP Financing to be permittedto be satisfied in cash; claims of the first-lien term loan holdersto be exchanged for a combination of cash and $326.5 million of newfirst-lien debt and 100% of the common stock of the reorganizedcompany, subject to dilution on account of a proposed managementincentive plan and the distribution to unsecured creditors of anynew common stock and warrants; and first-lien term loan deficiencyclaims as well as second-lien notes, unsecured notes and generalunsecured claims against the debtors to be exchanged for eithercommon stock in the reorganized company and warrants or the valueof unencumbered assets of the company, if any.

If the reorganization follows the restructuring plan it wouldreduce Arch's long-term debt by more than $4.5 billion, reducingtotal debt-to-EBITDA to about 2x, which would be sustainable evenin a weak environment.

ACI submitted revised projections as an exhibit to its form 8Kfiled Jan. 11, 2016, which show a decline in EBITDA from $374million for the latest 12 months ended Sept. 30, 2015 to $152million for 2017. Fitch's going-concern estimated EBITDA is about$200 million, generating a going-concern enterprise value of $1.1billion using a 5.5x multiple. Under this valuation, the first-liensenior secured debt including an assumption of 100% utilizationunder the $200 million accounts receivable facility and fulldrawing of the DIP Facility, has recovery given default at 36%. Thesecond lien and senior unsecured debt have no recovery.

ASSOCIATED WHOLESALERS: Hearing on Exclusivity Extension March 15-----------------------------------------------------------------Judge Kevin Carey of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District ofDelaware issued a bridge order extending ADI Liquidation, Inc.,f/k/a AWI Delaware, Inc., et al.'s exclusive period to file a planthrough and including March 9, 2016. The period in which theDebtors have the exclusive right to solicit acceptances of theChapter 11 plan is extended through March 18.

The hearing on the Debtors' request for extension of theirexclusive periods is continued to March 15.

As previously reported by The Troubled Company Reporter, theOfficial Committee of Unsecured Creditors objects to the Debtors'request for an extension of their exclusive right to filea plan and solicit votes for that plan.

The Committee asserted that given the cost of administration andunnecessary delays, it is in creditors' best interest to continueto allow the Debtors to have exclusive control over the planprocess any longer. "The lack of progress demonstrated over thepast five months only reinforces the need to end the Debtors' rightto maintain exclusive control over these cases for the next severalmonths," the Committee said.

The Committee insisted that the Debtors have had more than enoughtime -- and then some -- to move the plan process along but theyhave not done so.

The Committee said that in contrast, it has done everything inits power to move the plan process forward and is ready to proceedwith a plan immediately upon expiration of the Exclusive Periods.

The Committee thus urged the Bankruptcy Court to deny the ExclusivePeriods Extension Motion.

In response to the Committee's objection, the Debtors tell theCourt that "the Committee's purpose in filing the Objection is toadvance what appears to be an attempt to create a false perceptionregarding the status of the Debtors' cases in an effort to appeasethe Committee's frustration as to the realities of the situation."

The Debtors assert that instead of debating exclusivity, it wouldbe far more productive and beneficial to all constituencies if theDebtors and the Committee could instead focus on finalizing theproposed C&S Settlement and work together on any changes that mayimprove the Debtors' Plan.

The Company had $3,232,853 in total assets and $6,022,773 in totalliabilities, all current, at Dec. 31. It had $2,789,920 inshareholders' deficit.

The Company's independent auditors, New York-based Marcum LLP, haveindicated in their report on the Dec. 31, 2015 financial statementsthat there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability tocontinue as a going concern.

"We have commenced our planned operations but had limited operatingactivities to date. We have financed our operations from inceptionusing proceeds received from capital contributions made by itsmembers and proceeds in financing transactions," the Company said. "On January 19, 2015, we raised approximately $433,000 of capitalin a private placement transaction, $20,000 of capital through theissuance of a promissory note to Michal Handerhan, our ChiefOperating Officer, and $45,000 of capital through the issuance of apromissory note to a third party. On April 20, 2015, we raised$2,312,500 of capital in a private placement transaction. OnDecember 16, 2015, we raised $1,377,500 of capital through theissuance of convertible notes and warrants. Notwithstanding, wehave limited revenues, limited capital resources and are subject toall of the risks and uncertainties that are typical of an earlystage enterprise. Significant uncertainties include, among others,whether we will be able to raise the capital needed to financelonger term operations and whether such operations, if launched,will enable us to sustain operations as a profitable enterprise."

"Our working capital needs are influenced by our level ofoperations, and generally decrease with higher levels of revenue.We used approximately $796,533 of cash in its operating activitiesfor the year ended December 31, 2015. We incurred approximately a$10 million net loss for the year ended December 31, 2015. We hadcash of approximately $125,000 and a working capital deficiency ofapproximately $5.9 million at December 31, 2015. We expect to incurlosses into the foreseeable future as it undertakes its efforts toexecute its business plans.

"We will require significant additional capital to sustainshort-term operations and make the investments needed to executeour longer term business plan. Our existing liquidity is notsufficient to fund operations and anticipated capital expendituresfor the foreseeable future. If we attempt to obtain additional debtor equity financing, it cannot provide assurance that suchfinancing will be available to us on favorable terms, if at all.

"Because of recurring operating losses, net operating cash flowdeficits, and an accumulated deficit, there is substantial doubtabout our ability to continue as a going concern."

The Company added, "We plan to further establish and expand a lowcost transaction verification services business (bitcoin mining)and believe this will provide revenue growth and synergies with ourplatform development efforts. During January 2015, we entered intoa two year lease for an 83,000 square foot facility. Additionallywe have the option to purchase the property for $775,000 less the$10,000 security deposit and all lease payments. With minimalimprovements, the new facility is anticipated to handle over 10megawatts (mw) of power and can potentially house up to 40,000 TH/sof mining servers. Transaction verification entails running ASIC(application-specific integrated circuit) servers which solve a setof prescribed complex mathematical calculations in order to add ablock to the Blockchain and thereby confirm bitcoin transactions.When we are successful in adding a block to the Blockchain, we areawarded a fixed number of bitcoins for our effort. Over time it isanticipated that the rewarded value of adding a block to theBlockchain will decrease, and we expect to charge transaction feesto verify transactions. Given the size and low cost of our facilityand electricity, we are also evaluating offering hosted miningservices as well as traditional data center services."

BTCS is an early entrant in the digital currency ecosystem and oneof the first U.S. publicly traded companies to be involved withdigital currencies. On July 24, 2015, the Company effected achange in its name from Bitcoin Shop, Inc. to BTCS Inc. On August3, 2015, the Company's common stock began trading on the OTCMarkets under the new name and with a new CUSIP (05581M 107), butretained the stock symbol "BTCS."

BUFFETS LLC: To Implement Procedures for Payment of Vendor Claims-----------------------------------------------------------------Buffets, LLC, et al., intend to establish procedures by which theymay pay prepetition claims of certain vendors that are critical tothe operations of their business.

The Debtors said they are in the process of evaluating the severalthousands of goods and services vendors likely to have outstandingclaims against them as of the Petition Date. The Debtors are alsoin the process of analyzing which of their providers of goods orservices are necessary to their ability to operate their business.

The proposed procedures provide that:

(a) To the extent an entity claims a lien against property of any of the Debtors' estate to secure a Critical Vendor Claim and to the extent payment of such Critical Vendor Claim is, in the exercise of the Debtors' business judgment, in the best interests of their estates, the Debtors are authorized to pay up to 75% of such Critical Vendor Claim (with the balance agreed to be treated as an unsecured claim). The Debtors shall file with the Court and provide to the United States Trustee for the Western District of Texas, and any committee approved under Section

1102 of the Code an accounting, itemized by claims paid, of any debts paid.

(b) To the extent an entity asserts any Critical Vendor Claim, the payment of which the Debtors, upon advice of counsel, reasonably believe would be authorized under existing laws related to critical vendors and payment is in the best interests of the estates, the Debtors may pay up to 75% of such claim (with the balance to be treated as an unsecured claim). The Debtors shall file with the Court, and provide

to the Notice Parties an accounting of each such claim paid, including the bases on which payment of such claim is warranted under existing law. Upon motion of any party in interest filed within 30 days of such accounting, the Debtors shall be required to show cause why payment of such claim should be deemed by the Court to be properly authorized. If the Court determines that a payment was not properly authorized, the Debtors are authorized to, in their discretion and without further order of the Court, declare that payments made to such Critical Vendor on account of its Critical Vendor Claim shall be deemed to have been in payment of then outstanding postpetition claims of such vendor without further order of the Court or action by any person or entity. In addition, such Critical Vendor shall immediately repay to the Debtors any payments made to it on account of its prepetition claim to the extent that the aggregate amount of such payments exceed the postpetition obligations then outstanding, without the right of any setoffs, claims, provision for payment of reclamation or trust fund claims, or otherwise.

(c) Any entity provided with a copy of the Order authorizing these procedures shall be deemed on notice that a refusal to provide postpetition goods, or services to the Debtors by reason of non-payment of any prepetition debt, and despite assurance, in the form of a deposit or prepayment, that such entity will suffer no loss through provision of postpetition goods or services, absent good cause, constitutes a willful violation of Section 362(a)(6) of the Code.

As a prerequisite to payment of any Critical Vendor Claim, theDebtors intend to require Critical Vendors to agree to transactwith the Debtors postpetition on Customary Trade Term.

CAESARS ENTERTAINMENT: Trial Suspended Until Completion of Probe----------------------------------------------------------------Steven Church, writing for Bloomberg Brief - Distress & Bankruptcy,reported that Caesars Entertainment Corp. doesn't have to face atrial next month that could have pushed the casino company intobankruptcy alongside its insolvent operating unit.

According to the report, the judge overseeing the operating unit'sbankruptcy agreed to suspend the New York lawsuit until 60 daysafter a court-ordered investigation of creditor claims againstCaesars is completed. The ruling is one of the biggest legalvictories for Caesars and the operating unit, temporarily removinga risk that gave leverage to disgruntled bondholders in stalledsettlement talks, the Bloomberg report noted.

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge A. Benjamin Goldgar found that if Caesarslost to bondholders in the New York trial "the chances of a globalsettlement in the CEOC bankruptcy will be slim. The chances of asettlement that CEC funds will be nil," the report cited. Bondholders, however "stand to lose nothing but time if aninjunction is granted -- and not much time at that," Judge Goldgarwrote in his decision.

About Caesars Entertainment

Caesars Entertainment Corp., formerly Harrah's Entertainment Inc.,is one of the world's largest casino companies. Caesars casinoresorts operate under the Caesars, Bally's, Flamingo, GrandCasinos, Hilton and Paris brand names. The Company has itscorporate headquarters in Las Vegas. Harrah's announced itsre-branding to Caesar's in mid-November 2010.

In January 2015, Caesars Entertainment and subsidiary CaesarsEntertainment Operating Company, Inc., announced that holders ofmore than 60% of claims in respect of CEOC's 11.25% senior securednotes due 2017, CEOC's 8.5% senior secured notes due 2020 andCEOC's 9% senior secured notes due 2020 have signed the Amendedand Restated Restructuring Support and Forbearance Agreement,dated as of Dec. 31, 2014, among Caesars Entertainment, CEOC andthe Consenting Creditors. As a result, The RSA became effectivepursuant to its terms as of Jan. 9, 2015.

"The CreditWatch placement follows AMC Entertainment HoldingsInc.'s announcement that it has entered into a definitive agreementto acquire Carmike in a transaction valued at $1.1 billion," saidStandard & Poor's credit analyst Jeanne Shoesmith. The combinedcompany will own and operate 600 theatres in 45 states and theDistrict of Columbia before any required divestitures. Althoughthere isn't a large degree of market overlap, the combined entitywould be the largest movie theater exhibitor in the U.S., whichcould create regulatory concerns.

Although Carmike's current business risk profile assessment isweak, S&P views the combined company's business risk profile asfair, based on its increased size, scale, and diversification ofexhibition assets. This should provide some benefit in film rentaland concession negotiations for the combined entity.

AMC plans on assuming $230 million of Carmike's senior securednotes and financing the remaining $830 million of consideration andfees with cash. S&P expects AMC to fund the cash component withcash on the balance sheet and the issuance of incremental debt. Asa result, S&P expects the combined company's adjusted leverage tobe above its 5x leverage threshold for an aggressive financial riskprofile assessment when the transaction closes. Leverage, pro formafor the transaction and $35 million of identified synergies, willincrease to roughly 5.3x.

In resolving our CreditWatch placement, S&P will evaluate thecombined company's ability to integrate the acquired theaters. Inaddition, S&P will assess the combined company's financial riskprofile and evaluate its financial policy and ability to reducedebt to EBITDA below 5x on a sustained basis within one year of thetransaction's closing. S&P expects the transaction to close in thefourth quarter of 2016.

CENTRAL STATES PENSION: Senate Hearing to Offer Forum on Rescue---------------------------------------------------------------David B. Brandolph, writing for Bloomberg Brief - Distress &Bankruptcy, reported that a bipartisan group of Senate FinanceCommittee members have called proposed benefit cuts by the CentralStates Pension Fund "devastating" and said they could set a"dangerous precedent," presaging a possible verbal barrage againstthe fund's rescue plan and the law authorizing it during a fullcommittee hearing set for March 1.

According to the report, seven members of the committee, includingtwo Republicans, joined a group of 25 U.S. Senators who in a letterin February urged Treasury Department Special Master KennethFeinberg to protect the benefits of the thousands of retirees andfamilies who could be harmed by the Central States, Southeast andSouthwest Areas Pension Fund's proposed benefit cuts, authorizedunder the Multiemployer Pension Reform Act.

The Central States fund became the first multiemployer plan to filefor a rescue under the MPRA, also known as the Kline-Miller Act,when it filed its application with the Treasury last Sept. 25, thereport related.

CHICAGO STATE UNIVERSITY: Ill. Solons Fail to Override Rauner Veto------------------------------------------------------------------Elizabeth Campbell, writing for Bloomberg Brief - Distress &Bankruptcy, reported that Illinois lawmakers failed to overrideGovernor Bruce Rauner's veto of a bill providing $721 million forcolleges, leaving schools under pressure because of the escalatingpolitical fight that has left the state without a budget for morethan eight months.

According to the report, the measure, originally passed by theDemocrat-led legislature in January, would have funded communitycolleges and the Monetary Award Program, which providesscholarships for low-income college students. Mr. Rauner, aRepublican, vetoed the bill on Feb. 19, saying it spends money thestate doesn't have, the report noted. Lawmakers in the House wereunable to secure the votes needed to override the governor, despiteits passage in the Senate, the report said.

As previously reported by The Troubled Company Reporter, citingBloomberg Brief, the university in Chicago's South Side is on thebrink of running out of money as soon as March because ofIllinois's budget impasse, providing the most prominent example yetof the consequences of the seven-month political standoff.

According to the report, the 5,200-student institution founded in1867, is considering drawing up a financial exigency plan,equivalent to college bankruptcy, as soon as next month, accordingto Tom Wogan, a spokesman. The move would be a first step to keepthe school afloat as it hemorrhages cash to cover the loss ofstatefunds, the report related. All options are on the table to getthrough the current semester, including missing payments on $12million of outstanding tax-exempt bonds, he said, the reportadded.

The school, with a 70 percent black student body, would become themost visible casualty of the stalemate between Republican GovernorBruce Rauner, a former private-equity executive, and legislativeDemocrats, with leaders from Chicago, over a spending plan for theyear that began July 1, the report noted. While other publicuniversities can draw on endowments or raise funds from alumni asthe impasse persists, that's not the case at Chicago State, whosestudents count on federal and state grants, the report noted.

According to the Journal, in court papers filed in February, Mr.Ross's lawyers asked a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit from 50Cent, who said that 45 seconds of his "vocal performance" wereillegally used from the recognizable anthem that helped his "GetRich or Die Tryin'" album go multi-platinum and led to his Grammynomination.

But lawyers for Mr. Ross said in court papers that Mr. Ross'sreference to 50 Cent "did not create any blurring orassociation…that would harm his trademark," the Journal said,citing documents filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Hartford, Conn.

Judge Ann Nevins agreed to go over the arguments in the lawsuit ata March 17 hearing, the Journal related.

Additionally, S&P has lowered the company's 8% second-lien seniorsecured notes due 2018 to 'CC' from 'CCC+' based on the company'sannouncement that it will offer to exchange the notes for newsenior secured notes with materially identical terms except thatinterest thereon may be paid at the company's option either incashor in-kind or deferred until maturity.

IHEARTMEDIA INC: Said to Enter Lender Pact to Stop Default Fight----------------------------------------------------------------Laura J. Keller and Carol Ko, writing for Bloomberg Brief -Distress & Bankruptcy, reported that struggling radio broadcasterIHeartMedia Inc. reached an agreement with a group of lenders thatcould forestall a fight over whether the company violated its debtagreement, according to two people with knowledge of the matter.

The report related that creditors have agreed to temporarily holdoff from filing a default notice claiming that IHeart breached itsdebt terms by shifting assets to its Broader Media LLC subsidiarylast year, said the people, who asked not to be identified becausethe deal hasn't been made public. Under the so-called standstillagreement, the company won't move any additional assets, the peoplesaid, the report related.

The deal gives creditors an opportunity to propose a plan toaddress IHeart's more than $12 billion in debt coming due in thenext five years, said the people, the report further related.

The senior creditor group, which is represented by investment bankPJT Partners Inc. and law firm Jones Day, is working on a debtexchange that would push out maturities through at least 2020, thepeople said, the report added.

The Troubled Company Reporter, on Jan. 11, 2016, reported thatStandard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it lowered itscorporate credit rating on San Antonio, Texas-based radiobroadcaster and outdoor advertising company iHeartMedia Inc. to'CCC' from 'CCC+'. The rating outlook is negative.

At the same time, S&P lowered its issue-level ratings on ClearChannel Outdoor Holding Inc.'s (CCOH's) and iHeartCommunicationsInc.'s debt by one notch. Recovery ratings remain unchanged.

The downgrades follow CCOH's announcement that it has reached anagreement to sell a portion of its outdoor assets to Lamar MediaCorp. for $458.5 million. "Although the asset sale will bebeneficial to iHeartMedia's liquidity and modestly beneficial tothe company's very high leverage, we believe there are stillsubstantial risks surrounding the long-term viability of itscapital structure," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst JeanneShoesmith. "We believe iHeartCommunications may use existing cashand a portion of the asset sale proceeds to repurchase debt atdiscounted levels, which we would view as tantamount to default,based on our criteria." S&P could further lower its ratings oniHeartMedia in the event that a subpar debt tender offer isannounced. Various tranches of debt at iHeartCommunications arecurrently trading at roughly a 30%-60% discount to par.

Both of these companies are wholly owned subsidiaries of TRACIntermodal Holding Corp., which is the parent of Intermodal Inc.The company plans to use the proceeds from this issuance to redeem$150 million of its second-lien notes due 2019 and pay a cashdividend of approximately $325 million to Interpool's owner,Fortress Investment Group LLC.

"Our ratings on Interpool reflect our fair assessment of thecompany's business risk profile and our aggressive assessment ofits financial risk profile. The stable outlook reflects ourexpectation that the company's credit metrics will remainrelatively consistent through 2016 after it completes the proposeddebt-financed dividend. Although unlikely, we could lower ourratings on Interpool over the next year if renewed economicweakness causes the company's utilization and pricing to declineand its earnings and cash flow to weaken, leading its funds fromoperations (FFO)-to-total debt ratio to deteriorate to about 7% ona sustained basis. Although also unlikely, we could raise ourratings on Interpool over the next year if the company's earningsare better-than-expected because of stronger demand and/or pricingor reduced debt, causing its FFO-to-debt ratio to remain at currentlevels in the low-teens percent area. We would also have tobelieve that the company's financial policy had evolved such thatit would maintain its current credit measures on an ongoing basis,"S&P said.

LA PERRONA: U.S. Trustee Unable to Appoint Committee----------------------------------------------------The Office of the U.S. Trustee disclosed in a court filing that noofficial committee of unsecured creditors has been appointed in theChapter 11 case of La Perrona Botas Y Ropa I, LLC.

About La Perrona

La Perrona Botas Y Ropa I, LLC, sought protection under Chapter 11of the Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for theDistrict of Arizona (Phoenix) (Bankr. D. Ariz., Case No. 16-00434)on January 19, 2016. The petition was signed by Ana De Anda,member.

The Debtor is represented by Patrick F. Keery, Esq., at Hague Keery& McCue, PLLC. The case is assigned to Judge Madeleine C.Wanslee.

The Debtor estimated assets of $500,000 to $1 million and debts of$1 million to $10 million.

LIVE OAK: S&P Lowers Rating on 2013 Refunding Bonds to 'BB+'------------------------------------------------------------Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its long-term rating onLive Oak Community Development District No. 1, Fla.'s series 2013refunding special assessment revenue bonds five notches, to 'BB+'from 'A'. The outlook is stable.

"The downgrade is based on a deterioration in the district's debtservice reserve coverage," said Standard & Poor's credit analystRuth Ducret.

The district recently informed S&P of a change in the bond's debtservice reserve (DSR) requirement that occurred on March 7, 2013,pursuant to the second supplemental indenture that reduced thebond's cash-funded debt service reserve (DSR) requirement to 10% ofmaximum annual debt service (MADS) from 50%. In communitydevelopment districts, special assessments are typically levied tomatch debt service payments with very limited excess cash flow, sothe DSR is an important security feature that provides additionalliquidity if assessments are not received in full or timely basis.As a result of this change in the DSR requirement, the DSR is now$43,916. S&P estimates liquidity is sufficient to cover just a0.5% maximum loss of all assessment payers through maturity, whichS&P considers a credit weakness.

S&P estimates that the bond's DSR can now withstand the permanentloss of the assessments levied on the 10 leading assessment payersfor just one year. The DSR liquidity is sufficient to account forthe loss of the five leading assessment payers for two years. AtS&P's last review, the DSR could withstand the loss of the 10leading assessment payers for 11 years.

Non-ad valorem special debt assessments on benefited properties inLive Oak CDD No. 1 secure the bonds. None of the revenues derivedfrom the levy and collection of non-ad valorem assessments fromLive Oak CDD No. 2 secure the bonds. The district issued the bondswith a final maturity date of May 1, 2033, to refund its series2003A series for present value savings.

The district is largely residential in nature and encompassesapproximately 892 acres, including 82 acres of commercial/officeproperty, in unincorporated Hillsborough County near Tampa.

A copy of the First Amendment to Restructuring Support Agreement,dated as of February 25, 2016, by and among the Company and thesupporting parties thereto -- together with a copy of the SecondAmended Plan -- is available at http://is.gd/AZVcHb

Magnum Hunter originally entered into the Restructuring SupportAgreement on December 15, 2015, with the lenders under the FourthAmended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 22,2014, by and among the Company, each of the guarantors partythereto, and the lenders and agents from time to-time partythereto, as amended, including as amended pursuant to those certainSixth and Seventh Amendments thereto dated as of November 3, 2015,and November 30, 2015, respectively; certain Second Lien Lenders;and certain Noteholders.

The Restructuring Support Agreement contains certain milestones forprogress in the Chapter 11 Cases and incorporates the key terms ofa restructuring of the Debtors agreed to by the parties thereto, asmemorialized in a term sheet dated December 15, 2015. The agreedterms of the restructuring of the Debtors, as contemplated in theRestructuring Support Agreement and the Term Sheet, werememorialized in the Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization ofMagnum Hunter Resources Corporation and its Debtor Affiliates,which originally filed by the Debtors on January 7, 2016. TheDebtors filed their First Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan ofReorganization on February 19.

The lenders and bondholders that signed on the First Amendment tothe RSA are:

Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation is an oil and gas companyheadquartered in Irving, Texas that primarily is engaged in theacquisition, development, and production of oil and natural gasreserves in the United States. MHRC and its affiliates owninterests in approximately 431,643 net acres in total and haveproved reserves with an industry value of approximately $234.5million as of December 31, 2015. In the aggregate, MHRC generatedapproximately $391.5 million in revenue from their operations in2014 and generated approximately $169.3 million in revenues fromtheir operations for the ten months ended October 31, 2015.

As of Sept. 30, 2015, the Debtors reported approximately $1.1billion in total liabilities, as well as $416.3 million in statedvalue of preferred stock. The Debtors' significant funded debtobligations include: (a) approximately $70 million in principalamount of obligations under the Debtors' Bridge Financing Facility;(b) approximately $336.6 million in principal amount of obligationsunder the Debtors' second lien credit agreement; (c) approximately$13.2 million in principal amount of Equipment and Real EstateNotes; and (d) approximately $600 million in principal amount ofNotes.

The change in rating outlook to positive from stable results fromMoody's expectations that the company will pay down debt, extendthe remaining balance of its near-term maturing notes, and growoperating profits organically, resulting in debt credit metricssupportive of higher ratings. Over the next 12 to 18 months,Moody's projects Masco's EBITA margins approaching 13.75% from13.3% for FY15. Moody's now forecasts interest coverage (measuredas EBITA-to-interest expense) nearing 4.5x by mid-2017 compared to3.7x for 2015, and debt leverage in the range of 3.0x over the sametime horizon from 3.6x at FYE15 (ratios incorporate Moody'sstandard adjustments for operating leases and pensionliabilities).

Domestic repair and remodeling activity, from which Masco derivesabout a great majority of its business, continues to expand. TheNational Association of Home Builders Remodeling Index was 57.6 inDecember 2015, a 1.2% increase from the prior quarter. The numberhas remained above 50 for the past eleven quarters, indicating asustained growth trend. New home construction, another driver ofsales, is increasing. Moody's estimates that new housing startswill increase to 1.2 million in 2016, at least a 9% increase fromthe 2015 total of about 1.1 million new units.

Masco's Ba2 Corporate Family Rating is constrained by sizeableshare repurchases. Since 4Q14 the company has spent about $600million to buy back its shares, and Moody's anticipates furthershare repurchases of up to another $700 million over the next fewyears. The company's dividend and share repurchase policies willslow the pace of de-levering. Moody's projects adjusted free cashflow-to-debt to weaken to 8% from 10.3% at FYE15, due to anexpected increase in capital spending.

Positive ratings momentum could occur if Masco continues to benefitfrom the strength in its end markets, resulting in performance thatexceed Moody's forecasts and the following credit metrics (ratiosinclude Moody's standard adjustments) and characteristics:

Moody's does not anticipate downward rating pressures over its timehorizon. However, negative rating pressures could result ifMasco's operating performance deteriorates or fails to meet Moody'sexpectations such that operating margins contract such thatadjusted debt credit metrics are:

-- EBITA-to-interest expense sustained below 3.0x (3.7x for 2015)

-- Debt-to-EBITDA rises to 4.5x (3.6x at FYE15)

-- Deterioration in the company's liquidity profile or increased cadence of share repurchases could result in a downgrade as well.

Masco Corp., headquartered in Taylor, MI, is among the largestmanufacturers in North America of a number of home improvement andbuilding products, including faucets, cabinets, architecturalcoatings and windows. North American operations generatedapproximately 79% of total sales. Revenues excluding itsInstallation and Other Services business for the 12 months throughDecember 31, 2015 totaled about $7.1 billion.

UpShot will provide consulting services to the Debtor, including,but not limited to, noticing, claims management and relatedreconciliation, solicitation, balloting, tabulation, disbursementsand any other services on an as-needed basis.

CMHC' timely-filed proof of claim asserts a secured claim in theamount of $6,340,575 and an unsecured claim in the amount of$1,137,368, for a total claim of $7,477,943. CMMC asserts anunsecured claim in the amount of $6,959,419. According to theclaims register, CMMC's unsecured claim is the largest unsecuredclaim filed against the Debtor, representing approximately 66% ofthe total filed unsecured claims in Class Five, and the unsecuredclaims of CMHC and CMMC, combined, comprise at least 75% of thetotal amount of the filed unsecured claims in Class Five.

"CMHC and CMMC each filed substantial proofs of claim against theDebtor. CMHC presented evidence before this Court demonstrating thevalidity of its liens. Although the Debtor has appealed this priorCourt's decision acknowledging the validity of CMHC's liens, hasfiled an objection to each of CMHC's and CMMC's claim, has filed aseparate adversary proceeding which, among other things challengesthe validity of CMHC's and CMMC's claims, and has moved to withdrawthe reference with respect to the adversary proceeding, theobjection and the adversary proceeding are in preliminary stagesand no decision on the appeal has been rendered. CMHC and CMMC havehad very little opportunity at this point in the process to defendagainst these objections. Such unilateral actions on the part ofthe Debtor should not be permitted to disenfranchise CMHC and CMMCin the plan confirmation process, particularly in light of thisCourt's prior ruling validating CMHC's liens. Under suchcircumstances, this Court should use the authority granted to itunder Federal Rule Bankruptcy Procedure 3018(a) and temporarilyallow the claims of CMHC and CMMC, permitting each of them to casta ballot with respect to the Debtor's Chapter 11 Plan," theClaimants said in their Motion.

Debtor's Objection

Debtor Parkview Adventist Medical Center filed an objection,stating that CMHC and CMMC ("CM Entities") seek to have certainsecured and unsecured claims that they have asserted ("Disputed CMClaims"), temporarily allowed so that they may be voted to defeatthe Debtor's Plan. The Debtors point out that none of these claimshave been allowed and all of them are the subject of vigorousdispute.

"The CM Entities desire to control Class 5 of the Plan for theirown selfish interests and not to promote the interests of the Classin general... This conflict of interest is one of the many reasonswhy it would be an abuse of discretion for this Court to grant theMotion. Any analysis of the Motion must start with the recognitionthat the Bankruptcy Code provides that the only party that mayparticipate in the balloting process is "the holder of a claim orinterest allowed under section 502..." 11 U.S.C. Section 1126(a). Bankruptcy Rule 3018 provides a limited exception to Section 1126,and permits the Court to exercise discretion to temporarily allowdisputed claims for voting purposes. The Court's discretion islimited, however, and Rule 3018 is certainly not designed toaccommodate a creditor with (a) a claim that is the subject of asubstantial and meritorious dispute and (b) a conflict of interestwhich indicates a clear motivation to scuttle a reorganization planthat will hold that creditor accountable for the damages it hascaused to the other creditors of the estate. This is no justice intemporary allowance in this case and the Motion must bedisallowed," the Debtor avers.

CM Entities Respond

In their reply to the Debtor's objection, CMHC and CMMC stated: "IfCMHC and CMMC are permitted to vote and they vote to reject thePlan, the Debtor will be required to demonstrate that the Plan doesnot discriminate unfairly and is fair and equitable to each classof claims that are impaired and have not accepted the Plan,including the classes of which the claims of CMHC and CMMC are apart... The sole purpose, then, of denying CMHC and CMMC the rightto vote is to relieve the Debtor of the requirement to comply withSection 1129(b). Given that the parties are in the early stages oflitigation regarding the claims of CMHC and CMMC, allowing CMHC andCMMC to vote is the best means to ensure that all parties' rightsare protected. CMHC and CMMC are not trying "to escape theirexposure for millions of dollars of liability"; CMHC and CMMC aretrying to preserve their rights until the allegations in theAdversary Proceeding can be fully adjudicated. This is preciselywhat Bankruptcy Rule 3018 is designed to accomplish."

Parkview Adventist Medical Center, a Maine non-profit corporation,operates the Parkview Hospital, a faith-based acute care communityhospital located in Brunswick, Maine, affiliated with the SeventhDay Adventist Church. Its mission is to provide servicessupporting the physical, emotional and spiritual wellness of itspatients.

"Without the use of cash collateral on an interim basis, the Debtorwould suffer immediate and irreparable harm pending a final hearingon the Motion and would likely be required to cease operationsimmediately..." Josh Judd, Esq., at Hoover Slovacek LLP, counselfor the Debtor, said.

JP Morgan Chase Bank, which holds liens on the Debtor's assets,will be given replacement liens on post-petition receivables foruse of its cash collateral. JP Morgan Chase is owed more than $6million with respect to prepetition indebtedness.

While the terms of an agreed order have not been reached, theDebtor said it will continue to work with JP Morgan to reach anagreement for the use of cash Collateral and the Debtor expectsthat an agreed order will include, among others, the following:

A. The Debtor may each use cash Collateral pursuant to approved budgets, with a 10% variance per line item and the ability to apply any un-used budgeted funds at its discretion.

B. The Lender's prepetition liens will be adequately protected by replacement liens to the same extent and priority as its respective prepetition liens.

DIP Financing

The Debtor maintained that it will likely require an infusion offunds to pay ongoing expenses in the near term. In this regard,Alex Kiss, the Debtor's largest shareholder, is willing to provideDIP financing to the Debtor during the pendency of this caseof up to $500,000 to cover any shortfall. The DIP Financing willbe used to help fund the Debtor's operations for the next six tonine months, as necessary.

The Debtor anticipates confirming a plan of reorganization prior tothe maturity of the DIP Promissory Note.

The DIP Promissory Note bears an interest rate of 7.00% and willmature on the earlier (a) Dec. 31, 2016; (b) the effective dateof a plan of reorganization or arrangement in the Chapter 11 Case;or (c) conversion of the case to a Chapter 7.

The Company filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition (Bankr. S.D.Tex. Case No. 16-31201) on March 4, 2016. Alejandro Kiss signedthe petition as president. The Debtor estimated assets in therange of $10 million to $50 million and liabilities of at least $10million.

The Debtor has engaged Hoover Slovacek, LLP as counsel and HirschWestheimer, P.C. as special litigation counsel.

PETROLEUM PRODUCTS: Seeks to Reject Four Executory Contracts------------------------------------------------------------Petroleum Products & Services, Inc., seeks the Court's permissionto reject four non-residential real property leases with SummerCreek Investments, LLC, Southview Corporation and The Heinrich J.Aberle Revocable Trust, that are no longer necessary for itsoperations. The Company said the Executory Contracts relate tolocations where it has surrendered the premises to the Landlord butthe leases have not yet been terminated.

"As a result of the significant decline in oil prices andcorresponding contraction in demand for oilfield equipment, theDebtor has reduced its operations and closed six offices locatedthroughout the United States," said the Debtor's attorney JoshJudd, Esq., at Hoover Slovacek LLP.

According to the Debtor, it has explored the possibility ofmarketing the Executory Contracts, but has determined that doing sowould provide no meaningful benefit or value to its estate.

The Debtor related that its primary purpose at this stage is tostreamline its operations and liquidate claims in preparation fordeveloping and ultimately filing of a Plan of Reorganization.

The Company filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition (Bankr. S.D.Tex. Case No. 16-31201) on March 4, 2016. Alejandro Kiss signedthe petition as president. The Debtor estimated assets in therange of $10 million to $50 million and liabilities of at least $10million.

The Debtor has engaged Hoover Slovacek, LLP as counsel and HirschWestheimer, P.C. as special litigation counsel.

PUERTO RICO ELECTRIC: Gets Extension to File Rate Petition----------------------------------------------------------Michelle Kaske, writing for Bloomberg Brief - Distress &Bankruptcy, reported that Puerto Rico officials won an additionalthree weeks to submit a proposed rate charge to the island's energycommission, a fee that would repay bonds used to help restructureabout $9 billion of debt owed by the government's power company.

According to the report, creditors for the Puerto Rico ElectricPower Authority, known as Prepa, agreed to give officials untilMarch 22 to work on their petition to implement a new customer fee,called a securitization charge, Jose Echevarria, a spokesman forthe utility, said in a statement.

"These extensions were necessitated by amendments to the PrepaRevitalization Act during the legislative process which requiredadditional information and documentation to be provided to theenergy commission as part of the rate review process," Echevarriasaid in the statement, the report cited.

The restructuring would be the first step in Puerto Rico's attemptto reduce its $70 billion debt load after the commonwealth and itsagencies borrowed for years to fill budget gaps, the report noted.

(i) sell certain obsolete, surplus, or burdensome assetshaving a sale price of $3,000,000 or less or where such sale isarguably outside the ordinary course of Republic's business, and

(ii) abandon any de minimis assets where a sale cannot beconsummated at a price greater than the costs of such sale (takinginto account costs of, among other things, interim storage,shipping, and marketing).

Objections to the proposed procedures are due March 15.

Prior to the Commencement Date, Republic routinely and in theordinary course of business sold or, when necessary, otherwisedisposed of non-core assets that were unnecessary or could not beused profitably in their operations. As the chapter 11 casesprogress, Republic anticipates that certain of its property may berendered obsolete or otherwise become burdensome to its estates.Republic has been and is actively implementing cost-cutting andrevenue enhancing measures through a variety of means includingexpected reductions in its fleet of certain aircraft types. As aresult, certain De Minimis Assets -- such as expendables (e.g.,bolts, nuts, rivets), rotables (e.g., cockpit display units,auxiliary power units), repair tools, and ground service equipment-- will or have become superfluous and dispensable. The Procedureswill maximize the value of the De Minimis Assets for the benefit ofRepublic and its creditors and reduce the burden of maintaining theDe Minimis Assets. While Republic believes that the majority ofthe individual sales of De Minimis Assets will be for less than$3,000,000, Republic estimates that such sales, in the aggregate,could yield up to approximately $30,000,000 over the next fiveyears.

It would be an inefficient use of Republic's resources and theCourt's time to seek Court approval each and every time Republichas an opportunity to sell De Minimis Assets. Also, to the extenta sale of De Minimis Assets would generate less revenue to Republicthan the amount of cash expended in the sale process (taking intoaccount costs of, among other things, interim storage, shipping andmarketing), Republic seeks authority to abandon De Minimis Assetswithout further Court approval.

The Debtors propose to implement these Procedures:

A. Sale Price Less than or Equal to $500,000. If the Sale Priceof a De Minimis Asset is less than or equal to $500,000, no noticeor hearing will be required.

B. Sale Price Greater than $500,000 and Less than or Equal to$3,000,000. If the Sale Price of a De Minimis Asset that Republicbelieves is arguably outside of the ordinary course of Republic'sbusiness is greater than $500,000 and less than or equal to$3,000,000, the following Procedures will be followed:

1. Republic shall file a notice with the Court, specifying(i) the De Minimis Assets to be sold, (ii) if the purchaser is an"affiliate," as that term is defined under Section 101(2) of theBankruptcy Code, of any of the Debtors, the identity of suchpurchaser, (iii) any commissions to be paid to third parties(including brokers or consignees), and (iv) the proposed purchaseprice. Republic will serve the Sale Notice only on the followingparties: (i) the Office of the United States Trustee, 201 VarickStreet, Suite 1006, New York, New York 10014 (Attn: Brian Masumoto,Esq.) (the "U.S. Trustee"), (ii) the attorneys for any officialcommittee of unsecured creditors appointed in the Chapter 11 cases,and (iii) any person or entity with a particularized interest inthe De Minimis Assets to be sold, including any known creditorasserting a lien, claim, interest, or encumbrance (collectively, a"Lien") on such De Minimis Assets.

2. The deadline for filing an objection (an "Objection") tothe proposed sale of De Minimis Assets shall be 4:00 p.m.(prevailing Eastern time) on the day that is 10 days from the datethe Sale Notice is filed and served (the "Sale ObjectionDeadline").

3. An Objection will be considered timely only if it is filedwith the Court, One Bowling Green, New York, New York 10004-1408and actually received by the following parties on or before theSale Objection Deadline: (i) the U.S. Trustee, (ii) proposedcounsel for Republic, Zirinsky Law Partners PLLC, 375 Park Avenue,Suite 2607, New York, New York 10152 (Attn: Bruce R. Zirinsky, Esq.(bzirinsky@zirinskylaw.com), Sharon J. Richardson, Esq.(srichardson@zirinskylaw.com), and Gary D. Ticoll, Esq.(gticoll@zirinskylaw.com)) and Hughes Hubbard & Reed LLP, OneBattery Park Plaza, New York, New York 10004 (Attn: Christopher K.Kiplok, Esq. (chris.kiplok@hugheshubbard.com) and Ramsey Chamie,Esq. (ramsey.chamie@hugheshubbard.com)), and (iii) the attorneysfor any official committee of unsecured creditors appointed inthese chapter 11 cases.

4. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, a reply to anObjection may be filed with the Court and served on or before 12:00p.m. (prevailing Eastern Time) on the day that is at least twobusiness days before the date of the applicable hearing.

5. If no Objections are timely received and filed by the SaleObjection Deadline, Republic may immediately sell the De MinimisAssets listed in the Sale Notice and take any actions and executeany agreements or other documentation that are necessary ordesirable to close the transaction and obtain the sale proceeds. If an Objection is timely received and filed and cannot be settledby Republic and the objecting parties, the De Minimis Asset that isthe subject of the Objection will not be sold except upon order ofthe Court; provided, however, that any De Minimis Asset set forthin the Sale Notice that is not the subject of an Objection may beimmediately sold in accordance with the foregoing sentence.

C. Sale Price Greater than $3,000,000. If the Sale Price of aDe Minimis Asset that Republic believes is arguably outside of theordinary course of Republic's business is greater than $3,000,000,Republic will file a motion with the Court requesting approval ofthe sale.

Republic proposes that it be permitted to compensate any thirdparty, including a broker or consignee, engaged by Republic inconnection with any sale or attempted sale of De Minimis Assets.

RG STEEL: PBGC to Restore Pension Plans to Renco Group------------------------------------------------------The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation on March 4 announced anagreement that restores two pension plans to The Renco Group Inc.,a privately held investment holding company based in New YorkCity.Under the agreement, PBGC will restore plans covering 1,350 peoplewho worked at Renco's former subsidiary, RG Steel LLC, which isliquidating in bankruptcy. PBGC took responsibility for the plans,which had a funding gap of about $70 million, in 2012. Theparticipants in the two plans worked at RG Steel facilities inWheeling, W.Va. and Warren, Ohio.

The agreement resolves litigation that PBGC brought in the U.S.district court in Manhattan. PBGC alleged that Renco attempted toevade financial responsibility for the RG Steel pension plans byconcealing the transfer of its ownership interest in RG Steel."The vast majority of companies that sponsor pension plans keep thepromises they make, but when companies attempt to evade theirobligations PBGC will act to protect participants' benefits andPBGC's premium payers from unnecessary losses," said PBGC DirectorTom Reeder. "Our action restores the expectation RG Steel'sformer employees have that their promised benefits will be paid andrestores the obligation to keep that promise back to theemployer."In the settlement, Renco agreed to take the plans back as of June1, 2016, pay all future benefits promised to the former RG Steelemployees, and make back payments for benefits not guaranteed byPBGC. Renco also agreed to reimburse the agency for $15 millionin benefits that it paid to RG Steel retirees since PBGC took overthe plans. Additionally, the company will pay about $35 million inshutdown benefits that would have gone unpaid absent therestoration of the pension plans.

The restoration of the RG Steel plans marks only the second time inPBGC's history that terminated pension plans were restored to anemployer. In 1993, after litigation that reached the Supreme Court,PBGC restored three LTV Steel pension plans.

PBGC protects the pension benefits of more than 40 millionAmericans in private-sector pension plans. The agency is directlyresponsible for paying the benefits of about 1.5 million people infailed pension plans. PBGC receives no taxpayer dollars and neverhas. Its operations are financed by insurance premiums, investmentincome, and with assets and recoveries from failed single-employerplans.

RG Steel, along with affiliates, including WP Steel Venture LLC,sought bankruptcy protection (Bankr. D. Del. Lead Case No. 12-11661) on May 31, 2012.

The Debtors estimated assets and debts in excess of $1 billion. Asof the bankruptcy filing, the Debtors owe (i) $440 million,including $16.9 million in outstanding letters of credit, to seniorlenders led by Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC, as administrativeagent, (ii) $218.7 million to junior lenders, led by CerberusBusiness Finance, LLC, as agent, (iii) $130.5 million on account ofa subordinated promissory note issued by majority owner The RencoGroup, Inc., and (iv) $100 million on a secured promissory noteissued by Severstal.

About S-3 Pump Service

S-3 Pump Service, Inc., provider of high pressure pumping service,filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition (Bankr. W.D. La. Case No.16-10383) on March 4, 2016. The petition was signed by Malcolm H.Sneed, III as president. The Debtor estimated both assets andliabilities in the range of $10 million to $50 million. Blanchard,Walker, O'Quin & Roberts serves as the Debtor's counsel. JudgeJeffrey P. Norman is assigned to the case.

Under the contracts with each of Nordheim and HPIP, Sabine agreedto "dedicate" to the "performance" of that agreement all of the gasproduced by Sabine from a designated area and deliver the gas toNordheim and HPIP, and Nordheim agreed to gather, treat, dehydrate,and re-deliver that gas to Sabine.

In ruling for the Debtors, Judge Chapman held, "If it is ultimatelydetermined that the covenants at issue in the Agreements do not runwith the land, as the Debtors argue and the Court believes to bethe case, the Debtors will be free to negotiate new gas gatheringagreements with any party, likely obtaining better terms than theexisting agreements provide. If, however, the covenants areultimately determined to run with the land, the Debtors will likelyneed to pursue alternative arrangements with Nordheim and HPIPconsistent with the covenants by which the Debtors would remainbound. In either scenario, the Debtors’ conclusion that they arebetter off rejecting the Nordheim and HPIP Agreements is areasonable exercise of their business judgment."

Therefore, even though, the Court's conclusion that the covenantsat issue do not run with the land is non-binding, the Court findsthe Debtors’ decision to reject each of the Nordheim Agreementsand the HPIP Agreements to be a reasonable exercise of businessjudgment.

"It was a ruling against the existing rate structure," Michael Kay,an analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence, said. "In all likelihood,it means that they'll either renegotiate the rates or thosecontracts won't be resigned."

Ernst & Young said the Company has recurring losses fromoperations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantialdoubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

Senseonics Holdings reported a net loss of $29,877,000 for the yearended Dec. 31, 2015, from a net loss of $18,885 for 2014. Itdisclosed revenues of $38,000 for 2015. At Dec. 31, the Companyhad Total assets of $5,492,000 against Total liabilities of$15,189,000; and Total stockholders' deficit of $9,697,000.

The Company noted in its 2015 Annual Report: "From our founding in1996 until 2010, we devoted substantially all of our resources toresearching various sensor technologies and platforms. Beginning in2010, we narrowed our focus to designing, developing and refining acommercially viable glucose monitoring system. However, we do notyet have regulatory approval in any jurisdiction to sell anyproducts and, to date, we have not generated any significantrevenue from product sales. Since our inception, we have funded ouractivities primarily through equity and debt financings. We haveincurred substantial losses and cumulative negative cash flows fromoperations since our inception in October 1996. We have never beenprofitable and our net losses were $29.9 million and $18.9 millionfor the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. As ofDecember 31, 2015, we had an accumulated deficit of $160.8million."

"To date, we have funded our operations principally through theissuance of preferred stock, common stock and debt. As of December31, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents of $3.9 million. Underthe terms of a Note Purchase Agreement with Energy Capital, LLC, orEnergy Capital, we may borrow an aggregate principal amount up to$10.0 million, subject to the conditions specified in the NotePurchase Agreement.

"Additionally, under our credit facility with Oxford, if we receivethe CE mark for Eversense, we may borrow an additional $5.0 millionuntil the earlier of (i) March 31, 2016, if we receive net cashproceeds of at least $2.5 million from the sale of equitysecurities or a convertible note to Energy Capital, by March 4,2016, or (ii) March 4, 2016, if an Equity Event does not occur byMarch 4, 2016. Currently, our funds are primarily held in moneymarket funds consisting of U.S. government‑backed securities.

"Our ability to generate revenue and achieve profitability dependson our completion of the development of Eversense and futureproduct candidates and obtaining of necessary regulatory approvalsfor the manufacture, marketing and sales of those products. Theseactivities, including our planned significant research anddevelopment efforts, will require significant uses of workingcapital through 2016 and beyond. Upon the completion of the auditof our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015,we did not have sufficient cash to fund our operations beyond early2016 without additional financing and, therefore, we concludedthere was substantial doubt about our ability to continue as agoing concern. As a result, our independent registered publicaccounting firm included an explanatory paragraph regarding thisuncertainty in its report on those financial statements. Thefinancial information throughout this Annual Report and thefinancial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report havebeen prepared on a basis that assumes that we will continue as agoing concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and thesatisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course ofbusiness. This financial information and these statements do notinclude any adjustments that may result from the outcome of thisuncertainty."

The Committee asserts that "the Motions are the culmination of anorchestrated attempt by Glencore, the Debtors' corporate parent andsole equity owner (among other roles), to preserve for itself theDebtors' business and assets while wiping clean all liabilities onthe Debtors' balance sheet." The Committee complains that ifCommodity Funding, LLC, which is a wholly owned subsidiary ofGlencore, is permitted to credit bid the equity or capitalcontributions, it is likely that the Debtors' legitimate creditorswill receive $0 on account of their claims.

On Feb. 5, 2016, the Debtors disclosed total assets of$254,617,187and total liabilities of $218,177,760.

Nashtec complains that the sale under the Stalking Horse Purchaseagreement would violate the Nashtec Operating Agreement as it willresult in a sale of the assets free and clear of Nashtec'seasements and a sale or transfer of Allied's interests in Nashtecand the Sherwin Plant. Nashtec says the Nashtec OperatingAgreement expressly limits the assignment of the members' interestsin Nashtec, and prohibits the sharing of information with a thirdparty. Nashtec asserts that the bid procedures should include arequirement that prohibits Sherwin from producing any Nashtecconfidential information to any potential purchaser unless thatpurchaser executes a confidentiality agreement satisfactory toNashtec to ensure that all of Nashtec's confidential informationheld by or available to Sherwin is protected.

TCEQ asks the Court for the inclusion a provision stating: "thatany Purchaser will be obligated to comply with all applicableenvironmental laws and regulations as the post-acquisition owner oroperator of potentially contaminated property or equipment," intothe Sale Notice in order to avoid any ambiguity and ensure that anypotential Purchaser is aware of these obligations and TCEQ'sposition with respect to the ultimate sale of any property.

The U.S. Trustee appointed five members to the Official Committeeof Unsecured Creditors. Robin Russell, Esq., Timothy S. McConn,Esq., and Ashley Gargour, Esq., at Andrews Kurth LLP, in Houston,Texas, represent the Committee.

Outotec tells the Court that it has filed a Motion for Reclamationof Goods concurrently with its objection in order to recover goodsreceived by the Debtors' reclamation provisions, with an invoicecovering the Goods in the amount of $550,825, which the Debtorfailed to pay in full.

Outotec asserts that the additional liens contemplated by the DIPMotion do not extend to the Goods and do not comprise "priorrights" because neither the Debtor nor the Debtor's prepetitionlender, Commodity Funding, LLC, have demonstrated that the Goodsare subject to the prepetition credit facility. However, Outotecsays it intends to seek discovery regarding the prepetition creditfacility in order to confirm that its Goods are not subject to theprepetition liens.

The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors reserves its rightsto object or otherwise respond to the the DIP and Cash CollateralMotion.

SPORTS AUTHORITY: March 10 Meeting Set to Form Creditors' Panel---------------------------------------------------------------Andy Vara, United States Trustee of Region 3, will hold anorganizational meeting on March 10, 2016, at 10:00 a.m. in thebankruptcy case of Sports Authority Holdings, Inc.

The meeting will be held at:

The Hotel DuPont 11th & Market Streets Wilmington, DE 19801

The sole purpose of the meeting will be to form a committee orcommittees of unsecured creditors in the Debtors' case.

The organizational meeting is not the meeting of creditors pursuantto Section 341 of the Bankruptcy Code. A representative of theDebtor, however, may attend the Organizational Meeting, and providebackground information regarding the bankruptcy cases.

To increase participation in the Chapter 11 proceeding, Section1102 of the Bankruptcy Code requires that the United States Trusteeappoint a committee of unsecured creditors as soon as practicable. The Committee ordinarily consists of the persons, willing to serve,that hold the seven largest unsecured claims against the debtor ofthe kinds represented on the committee.

Section 1103 of the Bankruptcy Code provides that the Committee mayconsult with the debtor, investigate the debtor and its businessoperations and participate in the formulation of a plan ofreorganization. The Committee may also perform other services asare in the interests of the unsecured creditors whom itrepresents.

At the same time, S&P affirmed its 'B' issue-level rating on thecompany's senior secured term loan B due 2022. The recovery ratingon this debt remains '2', indicating S&P's expectation lenderscould receive substantial (70% to 90%; in the upper half of therange) recovery in the event of a payment default.

"The outlook revision follows Stonewall's recent debt repayment,"said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Mike Llanos. WGL Midstreamacquired a 35% equity interest in the gathering system for $89million and Stonewall used a portion of those proceeds to repaydebt. The debt repayment in S&P's view somewhat offsets the highlevel of counterparty risk. Another participant has the option toacquire a 15% nonoperating interest in the system which couldcontinue to lead to improved credit measures as Stonewall would useproceeds to further reduce debt. The outlook revision reflectsS&P's expectation that Antero will make up the majority of volumesand cash flows on the gathering system.

Stonewall is a single-asset gas-gathering pipeline system locatedin the southwestern part of the Marcellus shale basin. The companyis majority owned by M3 Midstream LLC, an investment vehicle forthe Momentum Energy Group.

Stonewall's gas-gathering pipeline system has been operational asof Nov. 30, 2015, and completed construction within budgetedexpectations. S&P's assessment of Stonewall's business riskprofile as vulnerable reflects the company's limited scale, lack ofgeographic diversity, and counterparty risk. Partially offsettingthese factors is the fee-based nature of its contracted cashflows.

The positive outlook reflects the potential an additionalparticipant could exercise its option to acquire a nonoperatingequity interest in Stonewall, leading to a further decline inleverage below 4x by year-end 2016.

S&P could raise the rating if an additional participant acquires anownership interest in the system and Stonewall uses the proceeds topay down debt. S&P could consider higher ratings if it expectsleverage to remain below 4x even if weaker counterparties areforced to curtail volumes.

S&P could revise the outlook to stable if operational issuespressure volumes such that liquidity becomes constrained or debtleverage is expected to remain above 4x should counterparty riskremain elevated.

SUNDEVIL POWER: Defends Open Bid Procedures, May 4 Auction----------------------------------------------------------Sundevil Power Holdings, LLC, responded to objections to its salemotion and proposed bidding procedures, saying that the proceduresare designed to maximize the value of their assets, though an open,agnostic process that can accommodate all options, be it an equitytransaction or one or more asset transactions. The Debtors areproposing a process that is over two months in duration between bidprocedures approval and the auction, leading to an auction on May4, 2016 and a sale hearing the following week. If, in the earlystages of the process, a party can satisfy the rigorous testrequired to earn bidder protections and to serve in a stalkinghorse bidder capacity, the Debtors also seek the flexibility toaward reasonable stalking horse protections to such a party, inorder to further maximize value in their sale process.

According to the Debtors, the proposed procedures have beenimproved since the original procedures proposed in the Sale Motion,as a result of comments from the U.S. Trustee, many of which theDebtors have accepted, as well as comments from the DIP Lenders. The Debtors note that the discussions with the U.S. Trustee havebeen fruitful in many respects, and the Debtors will continue towork with the U.S. Trustee to resolve or narrow the remaining openissues.

Four responses were filed to the proposed bidding procedures.

In its formal objection, the U.S. Trustee pointed out that theDebtors' Motion seeks approval of bid procedures for a Sec. 363sale, but includes almost no information regarding the terms of thesale -- no sale price or price floor, no form of asset purchaseagreement ("APA"), and no identification of a stalking horse orother potential buyer. It added that although no stalking horsehas yet been identified, the Debtors request advance approval fromthe Court to pay a break-up fee of up to 3% of the cash portion ofthe purchase price to any stalking horse that might later beidentified. Moreover, the U.S. Trustee opposes the proposal tohave the break-up fee granted super-priority administrative claimstatus.

The Debtors contend that the U.S. Trustee takes a "glass halfempty" view of what are among the most open bid procedurespossible. According to the Debtors, the U.S. Trustee appears tomiss the benefit of having a puremarket process, by complaining that the process "includes almost noinformation regarding the terms of the sale - no sale price orprice floor, no form of asset purchase agreement ("APA"), and noidentification of a stalking horse or other potential buyer." TheDebtors added that including a reserve price is essentially anargument by the U.S. Trustee to add a new barrier to entry to theDebtors' marketing process. As to the U.S. Trustee's objection topre-approval of a range of stalking horse bidder protections, theDebtors intend to propose a modified form of bidding proceduresorder which would include a streamlined filing and approvalprocedure to seek approval of a stalking horse with bidderprotections.

An objection was also filed by Tucson Electric Power Company("TEP") and UNS Electric, Inc. ("UNSE"). The Debtors contend thatthere is no colorable basis for TEP's/UNSE's request that potentialbidders be required to disclose their strategy for obtaining FERCapproval. According to the Debtors, any such disclosure to marketcompetitors -- including to TEP/UNSE – may implicate commerciallysensitive information about the bidder's plans for the southwesternpower markets. The Debtors also stated that the objections ofTEP/UNSE, the co-owners of one of the Debtors' two adjoining powerblocks, feature serious mischaracterizations of the relevantagreements that comprise the rights of the Debtors, TEP/UNSE, andother parties who own and operate the Gila River Power Station (the"GRPS") facilities. The Debtors said that their chief concern isthat the TEP/UNSE response will harm the Debtors' process bycreating a false sense of barriers to entry, when in fact thesupposed barriers to entry either do not exist or have beensignificantly exaggerated by these potential bidders.

A limited objection was filed by Nevada Power Company d/b/a NVEnergy, raising a concern that regulatory approvals for a buyer maytake longer than the current proposed outside closing date of July7, 2016. The Debtors responded by saying that they are optimisticthat a value-maximizing balance can be achieved insofar as theproposed July deadline is concerned.

According to the Debtors, the fourth response, from the Debtors'property taxing authority, is easily addressed as it is a saleobjection seeking to preserve rights.

S&P also lowered its issue-level ratings on the company's seniorsecured revolving credit facility expiring 2018 and senior securedterm loan due 2019 to 'B' from 'B+'. The recovery rating remains'2', which indicates S&P's expectations for substantial (70% to90%; upper half of the range) recovery in the event of paymentdefault. S&P lowered its issue-level ratings on the company'ssenior unsecured notes due 2022 to 'CCC' from 'CCC+.' The recoveryrating remains '6', which indicates S&P's expectation fornegligible (0% to 10%) recovery in the event of payment default.

"The rating action reflects the company's revenue and earningsdeclines over the past year, and our belief that it will continueto experience these declines over the coming year and negative FOCFgeneration as it pursues further traction in growing its recoveryservices markets, including integrated and cloud-based solutions,"said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Tuan Duong.

Despite the company's modest positive net bookings in 2015, S&Pexpects revenue to decline in the low- to mid-single-digitpercentage area in 2016 as a result of revenue declines in itstraditional recovery business, partially offset by growth in itsnontraditional and managed services businesses.

The stable outlook reflects S&P's expectation that while thecompany continues to face revenue and profitability challenges inits traditional recovery solutions business, it will maintainadequate liquidity given there are no near-term debt maturities.

TAR HEEL OIL: Bankruptcy Administrator to Form Committee--------------------------------------------------------William Miller, U. S. bankruptcy administrator, filed with the U.S.Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of North Carolina a noticeof formation of an official committee of unsecured creditors in theChapter 11 case of Tar Heel Oil II, Inc.

Unsecured creditors willing to serve on the committee are requiredto file a response within 10 days from March 7, 2016.

An organizational meeting will be scheduled after the committee isappointed, according to the filing.

TASEKO MINES: Moody's Lowers CFR to Caa1, Outlook Negative----------------------------------------------------------Moody's Investors Service downgraded Taseko Mines Limited'sCorporate Family rating to Caa1 from B3, Probability of DefaultRating to Caa1-PD from B3-PD and senior unsecured note ratings toCaa2 from B3. Taseko's Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating has beenaffirmed at SGL-3. The rating outlook is negative. This concludesthe review for downgrade initiated on Jan. 21, 2016. The unsecurednotes are rated one notch below the Caa1 CFR because of the newUS$70 million credit facility ranking ahead of the notes.

"The downgrade of Taseko's rating is driven by the company's highleverage and Moody's expectation of continued weakness in copperprices ", said Jamie Koutsoukis, Moody's Vice-President, SeniorAnalyst.

This rating action reflects Moody's view that there has been afundamental downward shift in the mining sector with the downturnbeing deeper and prospects for a recovery extended, resulting inincreased credit risk and weaker metrics for Taseko as well as theglobal mining sector. Consequently, ratings need to berecalibrated to reflect expected performance over a more protractedchallenging operating environment. The slowing economic growthrates in China materially impact the demand for base metals leadingto lower prices. While lower oil prices, lower freight costs, andcurrency depreciation contribute to reduced costs, the drop inprices has and will continue to significantly impact performance. In addition, the strong US dollar is a further factor contributingto weakening demand and driving prices lower since most metals aretraded in dollars.

RATING RATIONALE

Taseko's Caa1 corporate family rating is driven by high leverage(adjusted debt/EBITDA of 11x at Dec15) and a concentration of cashflow from one metal (copper) at a single mine (Gibraltar), butmitigated by adequate liquidity. Though leverage is expected toimprove in 2016 with the increased cash flow contribution fromhigher production at Gibraltar, weak commodity prices will limitthe improvement and there remains considerable risk to the downsidewith Taseko's exposure to copper prices which have seen sharpdeclines.

Taseko's liquidity is adequate over the next year (SGL-3). Taseko'sprimary sources of liquidity consist of C$76 million of cash atDec. 31, 2015, and $40 million of availability under its $70million revolver. Moody's expects the company will producebreakeven free cash flow in 2016. The company has no debtmaturities until April 2019, when its US$200 million seniorunsecured notes and outstanding amounts under its revolver bothcome due. The company is expected to maintain good covenantheadroom (minimum $20 million of working capital, as defined; $37million actual as at Dec15). Alternative liquidity from assetsales seems limited in the current copper price environment.

The negative rating outlook on Taseko is driven by the increasingrisk over time that the company may not be able to refinance itsdebts due in April 2019 unless the price of copper improves, andthe company may restructure its debt well before that date. Taseko's CFR could be upgraded if there is a sustained recovery incommodity prices that improve the company's profitability andTaseko is able to maintain total adjusted debt/EBITDA at or below5.5x.

The ratings could be downgraded if it becomes more likely thatTaseko will not be able to refinance its debt prior to the 2019maturity, the company experiences operating challenges atGibraltar, or if liquidity weakens.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Global MiningIndustry published in August 2014.

TRAC INTERMODAL: Moody's Assigns Caa1 Rating on New $485MM Notes----------------------------------------------------------------Moody's Investors Service assigned a Caa1 rating to TRAC IntermodalLLC's planned $485 million senior secured second lien notes due2021. The Second Lien Notes are being issued to fund a $325million dividend and redeem TRAC's $150 million 11% Senior SecuredNotes due 2019. Should the transaction proceed as planned, Moody'sexpects to downgrade TRAC's corporate family rating (CFR) to B2from B1 and withdraw the ratings on TRAC's existing $150 millionsenior secured second lien notes. Moody's has also assigned anSGL-3 rating to TRAC. The outlook is stable.

RATINGS RATIONALE

The Caa1 rating on the Second Lien Notes reflects TRAC's highfinancial leverage and less predictability in the cash flow goingforward. Pro forma for the increased debt, Moody's anticipatesthat TRAC's leverage will be about 7.0 times debt to EBITDA.

The chassis leasing industry has changed in the last several yearsto a potentially more volatile model of shared pools by multipleusers at a daily rate, rather than the more stable model that hadrelied on long term leases. The new model has yet to be testedthrough a downcycle, wherein TRAC would experience capacity andpricing pressure, in Moody's view. In addition, Moody's believesthe liquidation value of the company's fleet in a stressed scenariowould be insufficient to make lenders whole.

The stable outlook anticipates that TRAC, as the largestindependent North American lessor of chassis, will efficientlymanage its fleet during the current period of moderating freightvolumes to support margin and cash flows. As such, the cash flowwe expect TRAC to generate will enable the company to lower debt toEBITDA through calendar year 2017.

The ratings could be downgraded if Moody's expects EBIT margins tofall to 15%, or debt to EBITDA is not lowered below 5.0 times on asustained basis, EBIT to Interest of less than 1.3 times orpersistently negative free cash flow and a deterioration inliquidity could also result in a ratings downgrade.

The ratings could be upgraded if the company were to repay asubstantial portion of its debt, while improving operating marginsand maintaining an appropriate balance of fleet size to underlyingdemand, such that debt to EBITDA declines below 4.5 times, EBIT toInterest approaches 2.0 times, and Retained Cash Flow to Debt wouldexceeds 15%.

The Debtor contends that it has an immediate need to obtainpost-petition financing to pay its normal and ordinary operatingexpenses as they come due in the ordinary course of the Debtor'sbusiness and to make those purchases necessary to preserve thegoing concern value of its business and assets pending anyreorganization efforts.

Sunfield has agreed to an open-ended line of credit up to $500,000to be secured by a security interest in and lien upon the Debtor'sreal property and other business assets and an extension of itsfirst-priority lien and administrative expense claim. The Debtorsubmits that the protection requested by Sunfield are reasonable inlight of the risk that Sunfield is taking by agreeing to lend theDebtor the additional sums, and are the only realistic source ofpostpetition financing and liquidity.

The principal terms of the DIP Financing Agreement are:

* Borrower: Debtor

* Amount of DIP Financing: $500,000.

* Term: Open-ended line of credit. The monthly payments willconsist of fixed 6.5% interest per annum. The Interest will bepaid monthly, maturity due of Oct. 31, 2016. The Term willcommence Oct. 31, 2016.

* Interest Rate: 6.25% APR.

* Security: The loan is an extension of credit secured by (a) aMortgage and Security Agreement dated as of December 21, 2012,recorded on December 28, 23012, in O.R. Book 8806, page 940, publicrecords of Pasco County, Florida ("Mortgage"); (b) an Assignment ofRents and Leases dated December 21, 2012, recorded on December 28,2012, in O.R. Book 8806, page 966, public records of Pasco County,Florida ("Assignment of Rents"); and (c) a UCC financing statementrecorded on December 28, 2012, in O.R. Book 8806, page 974, publicrecords of Pasco County, Florida ("Financing Statement"). All liensagainst Maker's real and personal property granted under theMortgage, Assignment of Rents and Financing Statement to securerepayment of the Original Note shall also secure the obligationsevidenced by this Revolving Line of Credit Promissory Note.

* Specific Contingency: Sunfield will seek administrativepriority treatment as a creditor by the bankruptcy judge ofjurisdiction and will continue to secure a first priority lien,senior in dignity to all other liens encumbering the property.

A continued hearing on the Debtor's Motion is scheduled on March17, 2016 at 3:30 p.m.

Limited Objection

Creditor Gravity Systems, Inc., contends that although it does notwant to obstruct the Debtor's efforts to obtain financing toprevent irreparable harm to the Debtor's real estate projectlocated in Trinity, Florida ("Project"), it must, however, protectits first position lien on the Project.

VICTORY MEDICAL: Hearing on Plan Confirmation Set for March 21--------------------------------------------------------------A Chapter 11 plan for Victory Medical Center Mid-Cities LP and itsaffiliates will be considered for approval this month, according tocourt filings.

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Russell Nelms will hold a hearing on March21, 2016, to consider the restructuring plan proposed by VictoryMedical Center and the official committee of unsecured creditors.

Last month, the bankruptcy judge approved the outline of the planor the so-called disclosure statement, allowing Victory MedicalCenter to begin soliciting votes from creditors.

A disclosure statement gives creditors in-depth information about abankrupt company's affairs to enable them to make an informedjudgment and vote on a proposed plan.

Victory Medical Center's restructuring plan proposes to paycreditors from the available cash held by the companies and theofficial appointed to administer the trusts that will be createdunder the plan.

According to the plan, HPRH Investments LLC, a secured creditor,will be paid over time from the trustee's available cash withsimple interest at a rate of 10% per annum while other securedcreditors will have their collateral surrendered in satisfaction oftheir claims.

General unsecured creditors will be paid a pro rata share of theremaining cash held by the trustee. Meanwhile, those who ownequity interest will receive no distribution until all claims thatare classified under the plan are paid.

The plan will also be funded through the exit facility provided byHPRH Investments, accounts receivables collected and proceeds fromthe prosecution of certain claims.

A copy of the latest version of the disclosure statement isavailable for free at http://is.gd/C7Fy3h

The order, issued by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Russell Nelms, approvedthe loan, which will be used to pay the expenses that VictoryMedical Center and its affiliates will incur from the solicitationof votes on their proposed restructuring plan.

HFG-Cap will provide $6,500 loan to Victory Medical Center and eachof its affiliates for a total of $71,500 at an annual interest rateof 7%, according to court filings.

Separately, Victory Medical Center announced in a court filing thata reconciliation of the intercompany transfers between thecompanies and their non-debtor affiliates has been completed. Acopy of the court filing is available at http://is.gd/u2BQBx

VILLAGE VENTURES: U.S. Trustee Unable to Appoint Committee----------------------------------------------------------The Office of the U.S. Trustee disclosed in a court filing that noofficial committee of unsecured creditors has been appointed in theChapter 11 case of Village Ventures Realty, Inc.

At the same time, S&P lowered the issue-level ratings on WireCo'ssenior credit facilities due February 2017 to 'B' from 'B+' and its$425 million senior unsecured notes due 2017 to 'CCC+' from 'B-'. The '2' recovery rating on the company's senior secured creditfacilities due February 2017 and '5' recovery rating on thecompany's 9.5% senior unsecured notes due May 2017 are unchanged.The '2' recovery rating indicates S&P's expectation for substantial(70% to 90%; at the upper end of the range) recovery in the eventof a payment default while the '5' recovery rating indicates S&P'sexpectation for modest (10% to 30%; at the lower end of the range)recovery in the event of a payment default.

"The negative outlook reflects the heightened execution riskrelated to WireCo refinancing its near-term debt maturities, whichcould result in a rating within the 'CCC' category if therefinancing is not completed over the next several months," saidStandard & Poor's credit analyst Michael Maggi. "We also continueto expect adjusted debt to EBITDA will remain below 8x over thenext 12 months."

S&P could lower the ratings further if it viewed a default to belikely over the next 12 months. This would likely occur if thecompany does not refinance its upcoming debt maturities over thenext several months.

Until WireCo refinances its upcoming debt maturities, it isunlikely that S&P would take a positive rating action. However, ifits debt is refinanced in a favorable manner, it is likely S&Pwould revise the outlook to stable. S&P could also raise theratings on WireCo to 'B' if the company maintained adjustedleverage below 8x and a liquidity assessment of at least adequate.
